‘Vaccine fatigue’

  • Reference: 2021/3479
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 09 September 2021
The number of teenagers getting vaccinated against some cancers, meningitis, septicaemia and other fatal conditions fell by 20% after the first lockdown last year. There has also been a small but very concerning drop in children receiving their MMR vaccination. Experts are referring to this as ‘vaccine fatigue’ due to the COVID-19 vaccination programme. It is vital that young people continue to take up their immunisations to protect themselves as well as others. We must tackle vaccine hesitancy as a health priority as it continues to spread. What work are you doing on this in London?

Care Home Staff Shortages

  • Reference: 2021/3478
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 09 September 2021
There are continuing reports of an alarming decrease in care workers with providers now saying they will need an “army of volunteers” to staff care homes this winter. How are you, as Mayor, supporting London’s care homes in having enough trained staff to care for our sick and elderly care home residents?

Uptake among care workers

  • Reference: 2021/3477
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 09 September 2021
Care home providers are reporting that one of the reasons they are losing staff or unable to fill vacancies is because many have been put off by requirement to be fully vaccinated against Covid by 11 November. What are you doing to promote the uptake of the vaccine to key workers such as care home staff?

Rise in smoking

  • Reference: 2021/3476
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 09 September 2021
Cancer Research UK has said that the number of 18 to 34-year-olds who classed themselves as smokers increased by a quarter, from 21.5% to 26.8%, after the first lockdown. Is your health team looking into this and, if so, what work is being done to tackle this rise in London?
